The Humpty Doo Rice Project, also known as the Humpty Doo Rice Trail was a failed rice growing project in Humpty Doo, and surrounding areas, in the Northern Territory.[1] The company that undertook this project was Territory Rice Limited and it was once billed as "Australia's rice bowl".[1][2] It is on the lands of the Limilngan and Wulna peoples.[3]
Parts of the former site of the Humpty Doo Rice Trail are now the Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve and the Harrison Dam Conservation Reserve.[3]
